We Do Evil Dept: FTC flooded with complaints about Google

Quote:Some of the most frequent complaints the Federal Trade Commission has received about the Internet search giant:

Privacy: Search results turned up personal information that users want suppressed.

Reverse telephone directory: Users fear it will be used by criminals and stalkers.

Checkout: Google allegedly failed to deliver on promised $10 credit for signing up; products ordered using the online payment service never arrived.

Advertising: Advertisers say they were overcharged, that Google jacked up ad prices and confiscated earnings due publishers whom the company mistakenly accused of fraud.

DoubleClick: Opposition to $3.1 billion acquisition of online advertising company because of monopoly or privacy fears.
